Additional text
'The norms, institutions, and practices of criminal justice systems around the world have been deeply transformed in the last few decades by globalization and many new international and transnational legal regimes. Criminal justice, comparative law, and international law scholars are still grappling with these changes. By applying the illuminating theory of transnational legal orders to criminal justice, this impressive group of top scholars gathered in this book provides crucial insights to make sense of these changes. This book is an essential tool for anyone interested in them.' Máximo Langer, Professor of Law and Director of the Transnational Program on Criminal Justice, UCLA School of Law
